In truth, this hyper-violence was also in keeping with much of Norse mythology.
Unlike shows and movies from the MCU and other franchises suggest, Norse gods were rather brutal in mythology.
It seems this goodness extended both ways, though, as Baldr sacrificed his life to save Thor.
What makes Baldr’s death much more interesting is Thor’s reaction to it, though.
As in Norse mythology, inTwilight of the Gods, Baldr is Thor’s brother.
Hel is largely considered the goddess of death, and she shares a name with the underworld, Hel.

Her father, Loki, is a god, but her mother was the jotunn woman Angrboa.
As he is in Norse mythology, in the show, Loki is the God of Mischief.
Yet, Thor’s rage and violence seem to be in keeping with the Norse mythology about the god.
This was certainly not true of Thor inTwilight of the Gods.
